Yoo Hee has her own fairy grandmother in the form of Moo Ryong to help her in the love department. But she ain't no princess. She's famous for being a witch and she forced Moo Ryong, a college dropout, aspiring chef and housekeeper, into a contract to pay his debts. The opening of the drama was like ripped by 'The Proposal'. The staff are scrambling as news spread that the witch has arrived. She walks in with her severe clothes and hairstyle and icy air. It was so addicting to watch, I only started watching this last week, but I'm disappointed with the last few episodes. It's not heavy drama and kept me amused. The main characters remind me of Taiga and Ryuuji of Toradora. The guys cook and clean and very protective of the girls. While the girl are such a brat and violent. To be fair, she had chemistry with all the three guys at the first half of the story. Aside from the 5 characters in the pic and Han Sae Ra (the bitch classmate), I find the comic relief of the supporting cast weak (Moo Ryong's family, Yoo Hee's staff etc). Thanks for the anonymous tip via Skribit!

I think someone mixed up the pictures and descriptions of these two in MU. Also both mangas are showing the same mangakas. I've only confirmed it today when I saw Emi's review on 'Bokura no Pink' that these are two entirely different mangas. What are the odds of two reverse harems with similar titles? I've also accidentally discovered other mangas by confusing the titles. I've read 'Red Lion' thinking it was 'Red River' and then mistooked 'Penguin Revolution' for 'Penguin Brothers'. Anyway here's the differences with the two mangas..I think.

Bokura no Pink by Ayano Saijo - A girl being recruited in the Hero's Club. Now under CURRENTLY READING

Boku no Pink - from Mangaabyss: Three hot men and I'm supposed to become their Mama? Filed under COMPLETED

It's a journey of a piano represented by a girl. It's just 8 pages and yet it draws lengthy reviews from readers. Although I've read it like under 5 or 10 minutes it took me more than a few days to decide if anthropomorphic characters count for reverse harem. Just read it and be captivated as well. Thanks to Tartza for the tip!

Seri meets Tamaki, someone from her karate days, in the singles party. What started out as being his toy will end up a relationship filled with trials. This is intended for mature audience only. It reminds me of 'Haoi Airen' with the heroine being 'attacked' by different guys but the the difference is they're all in highschool (!). The smut scenes are literally repetitive and it's an endless let's trap-fest the heroine and maybe one for the hero too. The conflicts get a notch higher (or sicker) as ths story progress. The hero and heroine has a serious case of amnesia that they can easlily forgive and/or forget. I think the only consolation that I can think of is that at least the mangaka has improved as I've already read one of her more recent work before which is 'Honey x Honey Drops'.

I'm not sure how to tag this two yet but the bishies are in favor with to the hero rather than to the heroine. And they're both sweet.

Plus the set up is eerily similar:1. The main heroes are adult types who tries to have a distance between them (no touchy-touchy) and the much younger heroine.2. Guy #2- The heroes' playboy bestfriend3. Guy #3-Rival who's the same age as the heroine4. Other guys who tries to get the attention of the main hero by going after the heroine5. Harmless characters eg. butler and brother

"Faster than a Kiss" - Fumino, 16 years old, is dubbed as the leader of the delinquent girls of their class while Kazuma, 24 year old, is their plain looking homeroom teacher. And they're actually married! Thanks to Nicole via skribit.

"Hana To Akuma" - Vivi is a 200-year old demon who raised a human baby out of a whim . He named her Hana who is now 14-years old.

Mugiko dreams of becoming rich and her dreams came true when she finds out that she's the granddaughter of a rich family. I know a lot of people have been looking for this since the live version "Romantic Princess" aired. Finally there's some couple of chapters scanlated.

Bishonens are beautiful boys and these breed of boys here are literally beautiful. They're categorized as such because of the cross-dressing, flamboyance, androgynous look, genetics quirk or magical transformation. So far this beauty pageant erm I mean polls has most number of contenders, 26 bishies or bi-shonens. I'm not going to elaborate on each characters because of too many spoilers, so skip the slideshow if you havn't seen/read all of these yet. Thanks for participating! Here's the scores:
